The most recent anime DVD that I purchased was all seven volumes of "Full Metal Panic" as a boxset which is also what I am currently watching. I have almost finished the series with only two more volumes left and I absolutely adore it! A serious mecha themed anime mixed with school day comedy. The entire atmosphere of the anime changes when it switches between the two making the series itself complete genius. I have never seen this before from an anime, except Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, but this is beyond amazing.

My previous manga purchase was Blood+ volume 1 and I loved it. The artwork that Asuka Katsura produces is amazing and I definetly plan on buying more.
